  • Mark Canha 1B | SF

    Giants' Mark Canha: Logs steal in win

    Canha went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Canha hasn't seen much more than a short-side platoon role since he was traded from the Tigers to the Giants at the deadline. He's batting .282 with San Francisco, though he has just two extra-base hits (both doubles) and four RBI across 30 games with the team. Overall, Canha has a .240/.343/.343 slash line with seven home runs, 42 RBI, 45 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 123 games this season.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | SF

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Out against left-hander

    Wade is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona.

    Southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez is on the hill for the Diamondbacks, so the left-handed-hitting Wade will yield to Mark Canha at first base. Though he's slashing .333/.439/.424 over 42 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Wade has just three starts against left-handers in 2024.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Drives in three runs

    Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, three RBI and two runs during Sunday's 10-9 win against Arizona.

    The first baseman delivered in the clutch Sunday with an RBI double in the seventh and a game-tying, two-run single in the ninth to help Milwaukee erase an eight-run deficit. Hoskins continues to carry a hot bat and has a .321/.406/.607 slash line with two homers over his past nine games, though he also has a 46.9 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Marlins' Jake Burger: Swats 28th homer

    Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

    All four of Miami's runs on the afternoon came on solo shots, with Burger launching his in the fourth inning off Grant Holmes. The 28-year-old slugger has gone yard three times in the last six contests, part of a 12-game stretch in which he's slashing .304/.327/.522 with nine RBI. Burger sits two long balls short of recording his second straight 30-homer campaign with six games left on the Marlins' schedule.

  • Michael Busch 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Ends slump with homer

    Busch went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sundays' 5-0 win over the Nationals.

    Busch entered Sunday 0-for-11 over his last four games. He snapped the slump with a pair of extra-base hits, including a fourth-inning solo shot that gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead. He's been a bit streaky this year, but Busch has been able to put up decent power numbers with 21 homers, 65 RBI and a .448 slugging percentage. He's added 28 doubles, two stolen bases, 72 runs scored and a .252 batting average over 147 contests, mostly in a strong-side platoon role.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Idle versus lefty

    Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    The lefty-hitting Bauers will head to the bench for the series finale while southpaw Jordan Montgomery toes the rubber for Arizona. Bauers will cede his spot in the lineup to Gary Sanchez, who serves as the Brewers' starting catcher while William Contreras gets a day off behind the plate to handle designated-hitter duties.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SD

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Heads to bench Sunday

    Arraez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    He will get a rare day off against a righty (Sean Burke) as Fernando Tatis takes over at designated hitter, opening up right field for David Peralta. Arraez has gone just 1-for-15 in his last three games after hitting safely in 13 straight contests to begin September.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Sitting for series finale

    Walker is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Josh Bell will start at first base against right-hander Frankie Montas as Walker sits after going 1-for-13 across the first three games of the series. Walker was hot initially after coming off the injured list in early September, and he's still batting cleanup most days for Arizona.

  • Joey Gallo 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Joey Gallo: Taking seat against lefty

    Gallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Gallo will ride the pine with a lefty (Shota Imanaga) starting for the opposition, which is standard procedure whenever the Nationals face a southpaw. The 30-year-old Gallo has logged just 60 plate appearances against lefties this season, slashing .123/.167/.246.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Provides offense Saturday

    Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Nationals.

    Wisdom provided all of his team's offense and snapped MacKenzie Gore's no-hit bid in the loss, which eliminated the Cubs from playoff contention. The 33-year-old has mostly served in a reserve role, but with Chicago eliminated, he may see an uptick in playing time during the final few games of the regular season. Wisdom offers some pop, though he is batting only .186 this season and is mostly off the fantasy radar.
